Install

Requirements

As a pre-requesite for Harpoon, you need to install lxml requirements, on Debian/Ubuntu : sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python3-dev. On Fedora: sudo dnf install sqlite-devel automake bzip2 bzip2-devel bzip2-lib cython g++ gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel libffi-devel libxlt libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel make openssl openssl-devel python3-dev python3-devel python3-lxml python-dev python-devel sqlite-devel.

You need to have geoipupdate installed and correctly configured to use geolocation correctly (make sure you to have GeoLite2-Country GeoLite2-City GeoLite2-ASN as EditionIDs).

Installing harpoon

You can simply install the package from pypi with pip install harpoon

If the above install instructions didn't work, you can build the tool from source by executing the following commands in the terminal (this assumes you are using virtualenvs):

root@kitploit:~
git clone https://github.com/Te-k/harpoon.git
cd harpoon
pip3 install .

You may want to install harpoontools to have additional commands using harpoon features.

Configuration

To configure harpoon, run harpoon config and fill in the needed API keys.

Then run harpoon update to download needed files. Check what plugins are configured with harpoon config -c.

See the wiki for more information.

Updating Harpoon

If you installed harpoon from pypi, just do pip install -U harpoon.

If you installed harpoon from the git repository, go to the repository and use the following commands:

root@kitploit:~
git pull origin master
pip install .
